intermediate conclusion

A claim that is supported by premises and then supports something further.

An intermediate conclusion (or subconclusion) is a statement that is the conclusion of one step of an argument and a premise of the next. Arguments with intermediate conclusions are chains of shorter arguments.

Examples

  • "The pipe froze, so it burst, so the basement flooded": "it burst" is intermediate.
